Hi, I’m Stella May— a model and professional makeup artist with a deep love for expressive, creative, and intentional imagery.

As a model, I bring dynamic posing, strong emotion, and a collaborative creative eye to every set. I’m especially drawn to beauty, glamour, fashion, and artistic concepts that feel elevated and thoughtful. With a background in dance and gymnastics, professional hair and makeup skills, and a strong understanding of how styling, expression, and movement work together, I put real care into helping create images that feel finished, striking, and memorable.

I love working with photographers who are passionate about creating something meaningful— whether that’s soft and feminine, bold and editorial, glamorous, emotional, or fully concept-driven. I come prepared, bring creative ideas, and do what I can to help the full vision come together.

A major part of my work is also rooted in mental health and chronic illness awareness. I have hEDS, a hypermobility disorder that is still being brought into formal medical education and diagnostic spaces. After fighting for 10 years for my diagnosis, I hope my modeling and advocacy can inspire others to feel seen, heard, empowered, and less alone, especially those who may be struggling. This is a safe space, and I want my work to reflect both beauty and compassion— but don’t worry, I have a bright, bubbly personality, and we will always nail the concept every time.
